In today's video, we're talking about my system for running monster hunts in D&D. I'm focusing on dragons, specifically, but you can adapt these rules for a wide range of enemies.
It's been a little while since I posted this one, so I thought I'd reshare it! This was a bit different from all my other content, but it was a true pleasure to make; my first deep-diving lore-focused video essay. Check it out if you want to know more about the creation myth of the Forgotten Realms!
I just posted a new ready-to-run side quest on my Patreon! It's about a village where all the locals vanish, and of course the players have to step in and solve the strange Fey mystery behind it all.
Got a lot of fun new projects coming over on the Patreon, because 2000 pages of homebrew content is, I think, not quitttte enough. I won't be posting about my Patreon uploads on here all the time, but I just thought I'd share this one, as I'm particularly proud of it!
Thank you for all the recent support and engagement on the weekly videos, folks! The channel is in good health, again; I'm delighted to say that 13 long-form videos have gone out since I got back in the saddle in November 2025. Not only that, but I'm really happy with the quality of what I'm putting out at the moment, and now I'm buzzing to keep this momentum up through the rest of 2026.
If you've read this far - is there anything in particular you'd like to see from the channel this year? With a video coming out every week, we've got plenty of room for obscure topics, niche problems, weird lore, and random monster profiles. Drop a comment if there's a topic or format you'd like me to add to The Big List of Video Topics.
